Amigacore is the term given to a particular type of techno music, named so because of the fact it was produced on Commodore Amiga computers (16 bit home computers, popular in the early '90s). Because of the limitations of these home computers, only a limited number of audio channels could be utilised and the sound quality was not the best.

Some notable artists included Nasenbluten, Xylocaine and Animal Intelligence, who would often fuse elements of hard metal and gangsta rap with the gabber and speedcore of the time.

AmigaCore is more about 8-bit than 16-bit. 8-bit Amiga speed metal fast beat techno. Low fidelity is the key here.
